Sean, it's hard to do content with restrictions & lockdowns in place. Viewers need to take that into consideration when they watch. Lockdowns & restrictions are driving me insane on the Mid North Coast of NSW. At least the Haltech system is a step in the right direction to preserve your XR6T. I've been helping a mate with his VU SS Ute which now has a Monaro front end & Maloo rear with mods here & there. The next step is to take out the VU Steering Wheel & replace it with a VY one. Another great video for those thinking of the Haltech upgrade.

I've mentioned before why I'll never go for a turbo-side intake, but it will be copping valve springs. With the pump gears or head studs it's sort of a question of where do you stop.

Sure, before it was tuned I accidentally boosted it and it hit engine protection because it ran lean. The way it handled it was amazing though. It cut fuel and ignition for about 5 seconds, then brought 3-cylinders back for another few seconds... before bringing all 6 back and continuing on as normal. All of this was at 100km/h on the highway too.

Hi Sean, great video and I'm looking forward to more on your elite pro because I would like to eventually build/convert to a g6e turbo 1 tonne ute with the RTV clearance and wider track and locking diff. Could I suggest for another episode idea a "quick fix" for replacing the heater rod that often breaks when you refit the head unit. I say quick fix because most fixes online require removing the dash and steering wheel (urghhh). I was hoping with your super powers of investigation and vast industry contacts you might find a simpler way and it would be and episode many ba - fgx falcon owners would search for. Just a suggestion😉

Mine was the 154006 with the wideband kit included. A wideband isn't strictly necessary, but I think you'd be crazy to get a Haltech and then not run one. The kit includes all the wiring for the wideband - it wires directly into the Haltech and bypasses the original Ford plug.
